When addr is out of the range of the whole rb_tree, pprev will points to the right-most node. rb_tree facility already provides a helper function, rb_last, to do this task. We can leverage this instead of re-implement it. This patch refines find_vma_prev with rb_last to make it a little nicer to read.
